Chapter 430: Conquering Heavenly Peak
Aurel suddenly came out of the crowd, knelt down on one knee with his fists clenched, and said, "Father, son, please fight!" ”
Ninoel's face changed slightly, and he was about to drink back this bastard boy who didn't know the height of the sky, when he suddenly met his firm gaze, and immediately felt soft in his heart, and sighed: "You have thought clearly, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, even if you are the crown prince, you can't guarantee absolute safety!" ”
"Father, the son has been thinking about it for a long time, and his mind has been decided! I am willing to fight with our warriors to kill the enemy! Auril replied loudly.
Ninoel was silent for a moment and then patted his son on the shoulder and said with relief: "Good! You've grown up, and it's time to share your father's worries. ”
Murong Feng frowned and wanted to persuade Ninoer to take back her life, after all, it was too risky to take a prince to the battlefield, and she didn't want to be a nanny. Astari seemed to see through Murong Feng's thoughts, stepped forward and grabbed her, then shook her head slightly, and whispered: "This is the tradition of the Wing Clan, when a father sends his son to battle, no one can stop him. Moreover, as the prince of the Wing Clan, Aurel must not back down once he takes on this responsibility, otherwise he will lose the right to inherit the throne. ”
Murong Feng pursed his lips speechlessly, and sighed lightly: "When the time comes, I can't say that I have to be distracted to take care of His Royal Highness this prince, which is really causing chaos for us." ”
"He's also a seventh-order hero, and only the Moon Shadow Priest will treat him as a burden." Kodrasa leaned over and pursed her lips and smiled. The elven clan is notoriously smooth, and it is obvious that Murong Feng and Astali's private whispers have not been able to hide from this ranger general.
"So what? As a dignified prince, is it possible that you really dare to send him to the front line to fight with those crows and real guns? In Murong Feng's opinion, letting this prince follow them to the front line was purely a gilded day trip. It's just a matter of consolidating his position as crown prince. Even if Aurel's intentions were good and his courage was commendable, it was not a wise decision. If you don't get it right, you'll drag yourself down. But the fathers of the people have already nodded in agreement. No matter how much she talks as an outsider, it's useless.
With the news that Aurel, as the crown prince, was also going to the front line, the entire Wing Clan was boiling, and then countless parents, wives, and children sent their fathers, husbands, and sons out of the house. In just one day, the Wing Clan had assembled an army of 4,000. Then, under the order of the elven war ambassador, with three hundred elven horned beast eagle knights as the vanguard, he led the four thousand troops of the Wing Clan to set off overnight and directly attacked Tongtian Peak, where the Raven army was entrenched!
At this moment, on Tongtian Peak, it is gloomy and bleak, and the stench is stinking. The whole mountain was full of people in every hut up and down the mountain. Some of the Raven soldiers who couldn't hold it back could only find a random grass to solve on the spot, so they had to be careful not to step on the fertilizer left by others when they went deep into the grass.
Ranjit, the commander of the Raven army, had apparently realized that the grain and grass had just been transported, but when he asked the general who was escorting the grain and grass, he received the reply that the army had not encountered any enemy attacks on the way here. It's just that last night when the army was camping, they encountered an inexplicable beast tide. Although the camp suffered a certain amount of animal tide, the tents that hoarded grain and grass were unharmed.
Ranjit immediately expected that the beast tide last night must have been deliberately caused by the enemy, so as to attract the attention of the guards and take the opportunity to attack the food and grass of the army. The Raven priest who had been sent to inspect the grain and grass also confirmed this when he returned, and that the grain and grass had indeed been tampered with. But the other party did not lay any deadly poison. Rather, they are laxatives that make people have diarrhea after eating. After screening, several Raven priests swore that as long as they were given one night, they could prepare herbs to treat diarrhea, and the soldiers could stop diarrhea in half a day after drinking the medicinal juice, but it would take two or three days to recover! After all, even the strongest Raven Warriors are now weak in their legs, and they can't even hold their weapons, let alone raise their air to fight.
After listening to the priests' report, Ranjit immediately realized that he had fallen for the enemy's poisonous scheme! Then he immediately instructed the priestly corps to hurry up and prepare the antidote. At the same time, he ordered all the soldiers who had gone out to withdraw to Tongtian Peak to strengthen their defenses and prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to attack.
Another night of tossing. The army of crows gathered on Tongtian Peak were all sunken eyes at this moment, their faces were blue, their feet were floating, and they were trembling even when they walked. I'm afraid that Murong Feng herself didn't expect that the special laxative she casually configured would have such a huge lethal power.
In the early hours of the morning, the last thing Ranjit wants to see happens!
The Elven Pioneer is the first to kill! The first wave of tentative bombardment was met with only sporadic counterattacks, which immediately made Cord Drasa, who was in command of the vanguard troops, realize that Murong Feng's plan had succeeded. She immediately organized the elven knights to be fried with bundles. The explosive arrows of the medicine carried out rounds of attacks and bombings, while sending a signal soldier to contact Murong Feng, so that she could quickly lead the Wing Clan army to kill and rush over.
On the side of the Raven Army, the commander Ranjit organized his men to resist the bombardment of the elven knights, and at the same time ordered several generals under his command to quickly organize the army to retreat down the mountain. Now there are less than 2,000 of the 7,000 crow army left to fight, and as for the other 5,000 soldiers, they can't even walk steadily, so don't expect these soldiers to have any combat effectiveness. Ranjit must organize the army to withdraw from Tongtian Peak and retreat into the dense jungle before the Wing Clan's army arrives, otherwise once his 7,000 army is blocked by the enemy army on the mountain, it will really be no way to enter the heavens and the earth!
The Wing Clan scout, who had been lurking at the foot of the mountain to reconnoiter the intelligence of the Crow Army, immediately reported back the movement of the Crow Army, and Murong Feng, who was leading the Wing Clan army, immediately realized that the Crow Army was about to run away after learning of this information.
"These armies of crows must not be allowed to escape unharmed! They must be annihilated here before we have a chance to attack Sketis! Murong Feng coldly ordered: "Pass on my military order, order the army to encircle Tongtian Peak in four ways, and use Tongtian Peak as a blockade area for scorched earth operations!" ”
Several Wing Clan generals looked at each other for a while, and they naturally understood what scorched earth warfare was. That's to burn all the forests within a hundred miles! They couldn't have imagined that this crazy command could come from the mouth of an elven priest who loved the forest!
"What are you doing here?" Murong Feng's tone turned cold and said.
Several Wing Clan generals set their eyes on Prince Aurel, and Aurel was also hesitant, feeling that this order was too hurtful. "Priest of the Moon Shadow, is it a bit too much to burn down all the forests within a radius of a hundred miles?"
Murong Feng said coldly: "Your Highness! You promised not to interfere in the command of the army when you came, have you forgotten? ”
Awkward, Aurel said, "I'm just asking, I don't mean to refute you." ”
Murong Feng's eyes coldly glanced at several Wing Clan generals, and snorted coldly: "Could it be that you want to disobey your orders?" ”
Several Wing Clan generals saw that this Moon Shadow Priest didn't even give His Royal Highness the Prince's face, so they could only stubbornly clasp their fists and say, "The last general obeys the order!" Then each led an army of 1,000 men and began a roundabout outflanking campaign.
Soon, smoke billowed from the forest below the peak. It spread in the direction of Tongtian Peak.
As soon as the Raven Commander Ranjit saw the wolf smoke rising from the mountain, and saw the four thousand troops of the Wing Clan surrounding Tongtian Peak, he directly sat down on the handsome seat with a miserable face. He never expected that the commander of the other party would set fire to the forest against the teachings of the elven faith, which had never happened in a previous war. Knowing that the general trend was gone, he knew that the 7,000 army under his command might not be able to escape today!
Kodrasa, who was directing the elven knights to bombard, was also stunned by the wolf smoke everywhere, and then turned from shock to anger, despite the fact that the army was fighting on the front line. Angrily turned around and rushed to the temporary command in the rear!
"Who ordered the forest to be set on fire?" Enraged, Kodrasa let out a deafening roar as soon as she rushed into the camp tent!
What greeted her was Murong Feng's cold gaze: "Take it!" ”
Several of the elven knights who were guarding the tent hesitated. Immediately step forward and subdue Corderesa!
"Let go of me! Let me go! Ke Deresa immediately struggled violently, and roared loudly at Murong Feng: "You dare to set fire to the forest!" The moon god will not forgive you! ”
Murong Feng, who had just changed into a new uniform, slowly walked to the half-kneeling Kodrasa with a humming lightsaber in his hand, and Aurel and Astali, who were sitting on the side, were both anxious, for fear that Murong Feng would kill Ko Deresa with one sword, and that would be a big deal!
"As the commander of an army, he actually escaped from the battle! Seeing that the superiors dared to roar at the commander of the three armies! Murong Feng looked down at Ke Deresa and said coldly: "General Nan Gong, do you know that with these two items alone, I can push you out of the Yuanmen Owl to show the public?" ”
The faces of several people in the handsome tent changed slightly. Cordlesa obviously realized that she had caused a big disaster in her anger, but she still stubbornly said: "You don't deserve to be my boss!" You have disobeyed the teachings of the moon god! Mistress Ashtile won't forgive you easily! ”
"How the high priest or the moon god will punish me is their business! I am now commanding this war as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces. For one purpose - to win! Murong Feng pointed at Ke Deresa with a light blade in advance, and said coldly: "If this battle is lost because of you, even if the moon god sends an oracle to spare your life, I will take your head to pay tribute to the soldiers who died due to your dereliction of duty!" ”
"Put her down for me, keep her under strict guard!" Murong Feng commanded left and right.
Several elven knights hurriedly dragged Kodra out of the tent.
As soon as the "Moon Shadow Priest" Astari stood up, she was swept away by Murong Feng's cold gaze and sat back directly.
"The battle on the front line has just started, and you can't be left without a leader!" Murong Feng looked at everyone and fixed their eyes on Oriel, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, you will be in charge of the handsome tent." I'll go back as soon as I go! "Obviously, Murong Feng is going to the front line in person!
Aurel said in a hurry: "Priest of the Moon Shadow, as the commander-in-chief, how can you go to the battlefield in person!" Shall I go for you? ”
"No need!" After Murong Feng finished speaking, he directly shook off the big hat and stepped out of the tent, and then led a group of personal soldiers to fly directly into the air and fly towards the wolf-smoky Tongtian Peak.
Because of the sudden departure of Kodrasa, there was a trace of chaos in the Wing Clan and Elf Alliance who were fighting on the front line, but fortunately, several Wing Clan generals who led the team had enough prestige and joined forces to stabilize their position so that they did not cause a catastrophe, but at the same time, it also gave the Raven army a chance to breathe.
By the time Murong Feng hurried to the front line, the armies of the two sides had just finished a round of confrontation and were in a state of confrontation. Raven Commander Ranjit is worthy of being a veteran of a hundred battles, and he can resist the attack of the Wing Clan's 4,000 army with only less than 2,000 remnants.
After listening to the battle reports of several Wing Clan generals on the front line, Murong Feng's face was gloomy as water, Tongtian Peak, which could have been captured in one fell swoop, now missed the best fighter because of someone's anger, how could this not make her not angry!
But at the moment of the big war, as the commander of the three armed forces, he must not be affected by superfluous emotions in his judgment! Murong Feng forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, took out his binoculars and stared at the entire towering mountain.
I saw that the buildings on the top of the peak had almost been razed to the ground, but the Raven soldiers were all hiding in the tunnels in the belly of the mountain. The army of the 4,000 Wing Clan has no way to start!
"Priest of the Moon Shadow, now that the enemy is all hiding in the tunnels in the belly of the mountain, our army is not familiar with those tunnels at all, and rushing into the depths is not only not conducive to the development of the army, I am afraid that it will also encounter various ambushes!" A Wing Clan veteran spoke.
Murong Feng nodded and asked, "Do a few generals have a good plan?" ”
Several Wing Clan generals glanced at each other, and the veteran general spoke: "There will be a plan at the end!" ”
"Say!" Murong Feng said in a deep voice.
The veteran of the Wing Clan said: "Now the 7,000 army of the Raven People are all besieged in the tunnels in the belly of the mountain, and there is no water and no food in them. As long as our army is besieged for the last three or four days, the crow army will definitely collapse without a fight! ”
Murong Feng nodded and said, "It's indeed a good policy, but it's a pity that it doesn't apply to the moment!" ”
"Why?" The Wing Clan veteran wondered.
Murong Feng patiently explained: "The seven thousand army of the Raven People are trapped here, and the Sketis Empire will definitely send a large army to rescue!" With the speed at which the Raven soldiers march thousands of miles a day, I'm afraid they will be killed here in less than two days! When the time comes, the crow army will attack our army inside and outside, and we will be in danger! ”
The veteran of the Wing Clan retorted: "The Moon Shadow Priest is wrong, now that the Sketis Empire is in internal and external difficulties, there are only 8,000 troops in the country to guard the four directions, if a large army is sent to the rescue, the Awakening Sect will definitely not let go of this great opportunity, I'm afraid that the Sketis Empire will be full of wolves!" ”
Murong Feng glanced at him and said lightly, "You seem to have missed a crow man's power!" ”
"That?" The veteran of the Wing Clan was stunned.
"Raven Tribal Alliance!" Murong Feng said in a deep voice: "Although there are many factions within this Raven Force, they will never sit back and watch the Skites Empire fall, because they still need the Skites Empire to help them suppress the extremists in the Awakening Sect!" So once the situation deteriorates to the point where the rule of the Sketis Empire is endangered, then this tribal alliance will definitely intervene in this matter! ”
Everyone looked at each other for a while, but they were speechless to refute.
"So we must capture Tongtian Peak before dawn tomorrow and completely annihilate these seven thousand crow army, and not give the Sketis Empire any chance to turn around!" When Murong Feng said this, suddenly the communicator screamed, Murong Feng opened it and looked at it, and immediately smiled: "Hahaha, God really helps me!" Everyone, pass on my order, the whole army is stationed in place, besiege Tongtian Peak, and be sure not to let a single crow man escape! When reinforcements arrive, it's time to annihilate the enemy! ”
All the generals of the Wing Clan were stunned, and the veteran of the Wing Clan dared to ask: "Dare to ask the boss, where does the aid come from?" Could it be that Master Ashtive has sent another reinforcement army? ”
"Definitely!" Murong Feng smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when the time comes!" (To be continued......)
